Aussiedoodles are brilliant, athletic, and usually have a coat that matts exactly where the harness rubs. K-Pup grooms aussiedoodles one at a time in a mobile trailer at your home, which is ideal for a high-energy dog that doesn't love sitting still in a busy salon.

Size, Color & Coat
Aussiedoodles come in standard, mini and toy sizes, with coats from wavy to tight curl and colors from blue merle to red tri. The Australian Shepherd parent is on the AKC Australian Shepherd page.
Standard aussiedoodles are athletic, medium-to-large dogs with a lot of coat. Minis are more compact but often just as energetic. Both need the same methodical brush-out and a trim that can keep up with an active lifestyle.
The merle and tri-color patterns are part of what makes an aussiedoodle striking. We trim so the colors read clearly — keeping the body length even and the face open so the markings show through rather than disappearing under fluff.
Wavy aussiedoodles keep a more natural, shaggy look. The wave hides matting at the skin, especially under the harness and around the collar. We line-brush fully and keep the length honest.
Curly aussiedoodles are more poodle-dominant. They mat fast and need a 4–6 week schedule. We use a defined trim length and hand-scissor the face for a soft, rounded look that doesn't look like a poodle.

Active Dog Care
Aussiedoodles focus better when they're not bouncing off the walls. We recommend a walk or play session before we arrive. Once they settle, they're usually excellent on the table — especially with no other dogs around to excite them.
Merle dogs often have pink skin under white or light patches, which sunburns more easily. We never shave to the skin and leave a protective length on merle aussiedoodles, especially in summer.
Aussiedoodles that hike, run on the beach or work in the yard collect burrs, mud and sand between the pads. We trim the feet flush, clean the pads, and keep nails short so active feet stay healthy.
The Australian Shepherd side brings a weather-resistant undercoat. A deshedding bath and blow-out help that undercoat cycle properly so the coat doesn't pack down or overheat in summer.
The United States Australian Shepherd Association publishes breed information and health resources for aussie owners.

Aussiedoodle Grooming FAQ
Every 4–6 weeks for a full groom, with brushing at home 3–4 times a week. Active dogs that hike and swim often benefit from a mid-cycle bath or face/feet tidy.
If the coat is pelted, a humane short reset is the safest option. We never force dematting on a dog that will be uncomfortable. We always explain the plan before we start.
Yes — no waiting, no other dogs, and a quick walk back into your own house. Many high-energy dogs settle much faster in a quiet mobile trailer than in a busy salon.
It depends on the coat. Wavier aussiedoodles shed more and need deshedding. Curly aussiedoodles shed very little but mat quickly. Neither is zero-maintenance.
